  • Trea Turner reaches three times in losing effort
    Trea Turner went 2-for-4 with three runs scored on Thursday in the Phillies’ loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Turner also drew a walk in this one, reaching base safely in three of his five plate appearances. The 30-year-old shortstop is batting .300 (12-for-40) with one homer and zero steals since returning from the injured list back on June 17. Rotoworld Today, 6:27 pm

  • Garcia blasts 15th home run in loss Thursday
    Adolis Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Orioles on Thursday.



    Advice: Garcia’s home run was his 15th of the season. It hasn’t been Garcia’s best season, but he’s showing what it means to possess a solid floor. He’s only hitting .219, but he’s still on pace for around 30 home runs with 15 stolen bases and run totals in the mid-80s. Even though Garcia isn’t repeating the monster season he produced last year, he’s still carving out a pretty nice year for himself.

  • Westburg hits two-run double in route over Rangers
    Jordan Westburg went 1-for-4 with a two-run double against the Rangers on Thursday.



    Advice: Westburg was thrown out at third trying to stretch a double into a triple, but still drove in two runs to give the Orioles a 3-0 lead in the first inning. The 25-year-old infielder is hitting .286 with an .854 OPS and 48 RBI on the season.

  • Kjerstad hits home run, drives in three in win
    Heston Kjerstad went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored, a home run and three RBI against the Rangers on Thursday.



    Advice: Kjerstad’s home run was his first of the season. He started the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning and his two-run home run off Jon Gray in the third inning gave the Orioles a 6-0 lead. Anthony Santander had the night off with Kjerstad playing right field. Baltimore has a glut of outfielders, but Kjerstad will at least rotate in and could start to see regular playing time with more games like the one he had on Thursday.

  • Kyle Schwarber leaves game with groin tightness
    Kyle Schwarber was removed from Thursday’s game against the Marlins due to left groin tightness.

    Advice: There should be an additional update regarding the severity of the issue at some point following Thursday’s contest, but it sounds like his early exit was merely for precautionary reasons. The 31-year-old slugger was 1-for-4 with a single before leaving the game in the top of the ninth inning. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 6:06 pm

  • Sitting again Thursday
    Rogers is not in Thursday's lineup against the Angels.

    Advice: Rogers will sit for the second straight game, perhaps getting an extended breather after collecting just three hits across his last 29 at-bats. Carson Kelly is behind the dish and will hit ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 5:12 pm
     
  • Scratched from Thursday's lineup
    Stephenson was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Cardinals, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Stephenson was scratched moments before first pitch to be present for the birth of his child. He'll likely be placed on the paternity list and will miss between one and three additional games. Luke Maile took over behind the dish. Rotowire.com Today, 4:55 pm
     
  • Luis Robert homers to give White Sox 1-0 victory
    Luis Robert went 2-for-3 with a homer in a victory over Atlanta on Thursday in the first game of a doubleheader.

    Advice: Robert’s homer was not only the only run Chris Sale allowed and not only the only the only run for the White Sox, it was the only run scored by either team Thursday. The 26-year-old has homered eight times in his 103 at-bats while driving in 12 runs. Robert Jr. has enormous fantasy potential, but it sure would be nice to see him playing for a team that had a semblance of competence. Rotoworld Today, 4:55 pm
